Beyond the stack: why composable Innovation is the new standard for digital excellence. The winners of the 2025 Acquia Partner Awards provide the blueprint for the next era of digital excellence. In the digital experience landscape of 2025, the gap between having technology and driving outcomes has never been wider. For years, the industry promise was simple: buy the right suite of tools, and digital transformation would follow. But as many organizations discovered over the past twelve months, a collection of powerful tools often leads to a new and more frustrating problem. Acquia call this the Technical Silo crisis. While many brands found themselves trapped in fragmented ecosystems and struggling to connect data across disparate platforms, a select group of global leaders managed to break through. Their success was not the result of a bigger budget or a larger IT team. Instead, it was a fundamental shift in how they partnered to build digital ecosystems. Today, as Acquia celebrate the winners of the 2025 Acquia Partner Awards, Acquia is looking at more than just a list of high-performing agencies. Acquia is looking at the blueprint for the next era of digital excellence. As Acquia analyze the work of these winners, three core themes emerge that define how the most successful brands are driving outcomes today. 1. The death of the monolith: embracing composable clarity. The era of the all-in-one suite that does nothing particularly well is officially over. The most significant trend Acquia saw this year was the move toward composable architectures. These are systems built with the flexibility to swap components as business needs change. Its partners have been at the forefront of this shift, helping global enterprises reclaim their agility. This includes Capgemini, its Global Partner of the Year, and NTT Data, Factorial, Hounder, and Sitback, its Regional Partners of the Year. In a market where consumer expectations change overnight, the ability to rapidly compose a new digital product rather than rebuilding a stack from scratch is the ultimate competitive advantage. This is not just a technical choice. It is a business strategy that prioritizes speed-to-market and operational efficiency. 2. Radical connectivity and the Total Experience. One of the primary outcomes its partners are driving is the elimination of friction for both the customer and the internal team. Acquia has moved beyond Customer Experience (CX) and into the era of Total Experience. * Content and Optimization: Organizations are no longer satisfied with just publishing content. They need to know it is performing. Partners like Material+ and Conductor are bridging the gap between SEO, content strategy, and execution. This ensures that digital properties are not just seen but are driving measurable conversion. * Accessibility as a Foundation: Acquia believe that digital excellence is impossible without inclusivity. Its partners, such as Jakala, are proving that accessibility is not a nice-to-have feature or a legal checkbox. It is a core component of brand trust. By building with an accessibility-first mindset, these partners ensure that brands can reach every user regardless of how they interact with the web. * Reliability at Scale: Innovation is impossible without a stable foundation. Its 20-year collaboration with AWS, its Technology Alliance Partner of the Year, continues to demonstrate a vital truth. When infrastructure and application work in perfect harmony, brands have the freedom to play with transformative technologies like AI and machine learning without risking their core stability. 3. Purpose-Driven digital innovation. Perhaps the most inspiring trend of 2025 is the rise of Tech for Good. In today's economy, innovation is increasingly measured by its impact on society. Digital transformation is no longer just about the bottom line. It is about how technology can solve human problems. Velir, its Tech for Good Partner of the Year, exemplifies this shift. Their work demonstrates how Acquia's Open DXP can be used to drive substantial social impact, ranging from sustainability initiatives to public health awareness. This proves a vital point for the modern C-suite. Business growth and social responsibility are no longer mutually exclusive. In fact, they are increasingly interdependent. The power of the open community. At the heart of all these success stories is a commitment to the open-source community. Unlike closed black box proprietary systems, the Acquia ecosystem thrives on transparency and shared innovation. When partners like Mobomo, its Top Community Contributor, and FreelyGive, winner for Excellence in Customer Outcomes, contribute code back to the Drupal project, they are not just helping themselves. They are elevating the capabilities of every organization that uses the platform. This collaborative spirit is what allows Acquia to push the boundaries of what is possible. It ensures that the Acquia DXP remains the most flexible, innovative, and secure platform on the market. Voices from the ecosystem. The strength of the Acquia community lies in the shared expertise of its partners. Many of this year's winners have shared their own insights into the trends shaping the industry: * Jakala explores why accessibility is a strategic enabler in an AI-driven world. * Material+ details how they bridge content and technology to drive optimization. * Gain reflects on collaborative marketing excellence and the importance of practitioner-led communities. Looking ahead. To its 2025 winners: thank you for setting a new standard for partnership. You are not just building websites or managing instances. You are the architects of the digital experiences that define how Acquia live, work, and connect. As Acquia look toward 2026, the lesson is clear. The future belongs to those who prioritize flexibility, inclusivity, and purpose-driven innovation.

His background includes market strategy and analyst relations roles at Salesforce, Google and Udemy.

For example, the release introduces a Customer Insights Dashboard, Advanced RCS Personalization tools, and First-Visit Personalization, developed in collaboration with Foundry, Cordial's internal innovation program. Jeremy Swift, CEO of Cordial, says, "These new capabilities help brands understand intent earlier and respond with the kind of relevance customers actually welcome. That's how you build trust and long-term loyalty." Cresta, a customer experience AI platform for human and AI agents, has launched an Agent Operations Center. Designed to serve as a unified command hub for all conversations in the contact center, whether led by humans or AI, the new Agent Operations Center aims to empower supervisors with real-time visibility and instant intervention tools.

With this update, independent software vendors (ISVs) can embed the complete Agentforce 360 system as the foundation for their agentic applications, gaining access to the same AI-native foundation that powers Salesforce applications.

Xactly, an intelligent revenue solution provider, has announced its Incent AI Agents. Launching in an early access preview on the Xactly Intelligent Revenue Platform, these agents are powered by Xactly Intelligence to revolutionize sales performance management (SPM) by empowering organizations to manage and optimize incentive compensation programs with speed, flexibility, and data-driven precision.
